Definition of staff college in English:

noun

Kitchener reorganized this army and established a staff college to recruit and train more Indian officers.

On the other hand, a generation of officers - too junior to have attended staff college or war college by 1941 - returned from the war as colonels or captains, and in some cases brigadier generals or rear admirals.

An international staff college to train peacekeeping commanders was one solution, reform of the existing machinery another and a permanent UN force a third.
